Bodies on the Margins

A Forum on Science, Medicine, and Social Justice

October 3 – October 9, 2016

This year, the History, Science, and Justice Collective invites those interested to help us explore how histories of science, medicine, and public health can help us to not only understand, but also engage in, the social justice issues of our time. How can these critiques of power and authority be used for introspection and action in our own departments, in our scholarship, and in our daily lives? How can academic institutions rise to demands for justice in the twenty-first century? We hope these discussions can bring new dimensions to work on race and justice at Yale.

We will open this conversation with several events from October 3rd through 7th. We invite you to join us as we hear from scholars at this intersection, and as we reflect together on our role in the academy and activism, at Yale and beyond.
